Procedure

  1. Add the dry ingredients to a bowl large enough to hold the finished product.

    Whisk in the egg to for a stiff batter. The egg/flour mix will form a ball on the whisk. That's expected and necessary.

  2. Add the buttermilk in thirds. Whisk carefully at first to avoid splashing out the buttermilk. During the first addition of buttermilk, work the flour into the stiff dough.

  3. Add the next third of the buttermilk. The batter will start to look like a batter. Add the last third of the buttermilk.

  4. Once the batter is made, add the remaining ingredients, fold together and let stand in the cooler for 15 minutes.

  5. Fry portions in a deep fryer or pan fry. Drain on paper towels and season.
